<p>A binary logic incrementally variable transmission is provided herein including a casing and binary selectable means and which can include a sequence of biratio stages, a sequence of quadriratio stages, or a sequence of both biratio and quadriratio stages. Each stage has an input component and an output component, with a biratio stage having one reactive component, and a quadriratio stage having two reactive components. The input component, the output component and the reactive component(s) are so interrelated that when the reactive component(s) is/are grounded to the casing by binary selectable means, ratio-states greater than one will result; and when the reactive component of a binary stage is coupled to either the input or output components, or the two reactive components of a quadriratio stage are coupled respectively to either the input or output components a ratio-state of unity will result; with the quadriratio stage having two additional ratio-states that are respectively one-third and two-thirds the power of the ratio-state when both reactive components are grounded to the casing, when one of the two reactive components is respectively grounded to the casing and the other reactive component is coupled respectively to the input or output component. When the ratio-states of a plurality of sequenced stages of either binary, quadriratio, or a combination of (continued) both are selected in all permuted combinations of product an incrementally variable ratio-state between the input on the first stage to the output of the last stage in the sequence of stages in the transmission will be the geommetric progression X¬0, X¬1, X¬2, X¬3, X¬4, X¬5, X¬6, etc., when the basic stage ratio X of the stages in the sequence is as defined by the equation: X = R¬1/((2¬n) - 1), where; R is the maximum combination of product of the stages, and n is the number of biratio stages or equivalent number of biratio stages in the sequence of stages in the transmission, with the total number of ratio-states T of the transmission expressed by the equation: T = 2n.</p> |
